Thanks guys. I wanted to say that it looked as strong as the WC, but I was afraid I might be wrong. My Absolute covers a wide area between the WCP and the WCR and is very versatile, but the pin carry isn't near as good as the WCP & WCR is. That is why I was looking at the Black Pearl to replace it with.

Then again, Galen told me the Black Pearl is very versatile. I do know that in instances like today on the Synthetic lanes, I was needing a bit more length on the WCP. I tried the WCR and of coarse it got good length and the length I like, but wasn't strong enough on the back end on those synthetic lanes. The Absolute Inferno was in between the two balls in length and seemed to come into the pocket strong, but would not carry a 10 Pin no matter what angle I played or what speed I threw. (I had the same problem with the AI Sunday on wood lanes whereas both L/LM balls seemed to strike at will) Maybe a ball like the Black Pearl would have worked if it would have gotten close to the length of the  WCR as I am sure it would have turned the corner on the back end where the WCR wouldn't. I need to "knock on wood" when I say this, but for what ever reason, I seem to leave very-very few 10 pins plus get way more strikes with L/LM balls.
